What does Marketing Results do?

Marketing Results specialises in helping marketers of complex services and major products maximise revenue and profit using digital marketing and marketing automation. Here are some case studies that prove our approach works.

How can you help me?

In short, we specialise in Client Value Optimisation (CVO). That means optimising your marketing, sales and delivery function in order to maximise profit and growth. We can tackle these areas separately, or together. The result of our intervention is more quality sales leads and ideal clients from the web at lower cost than you’re currently spending. The strategies we deploy are cost-effective, integrated and rapidly scalable.

How are you different?

There are many digital marketing agencies and consultants. Here’s a short analysis as to what makes our approach to marketing unique:

Revenue not rankings: We focus on driving revenue and profit for your business, not just arbitrary benchmarks like search engine rankings, click through rates or bounce rates that may or may not correlate with improved business results.

We’re cost effective: Our services will make you many times what they cost if we’re a fit (and we don’t work with clients with whom we’re unlikely to be a fit).

We have a record of proven results: We’re happy to share case studies and references that demonstrate a record of success in many different industries.

What kind of clients do you work with?

We tend to work with established businesses that are at least 2 years old, have already achieved some level of traction and are looking for more, and are already investing in online marketing activities.

Where are your clients based?

Our clients come from all around Australia, as well as the USA, UK, South America, Canada, New Zealand and more. We deal with clients via phone, Skype, email as well as face-to-face meetings.

What’s your philosophy when it comes to online marketing?

Online marketing is about generating strong lead and sales generation results while building your brand and offering more satisfying user experiences.

We won’t waste your budget on marketing initiatives that get no results. Everything we do is designed to generate the maximum return in the minimum possible time.

How much do your services cost?

We have two main consulting streams – Platinum and Gold.

Platinum Clients are typically organisations for whom online marketing is a critical value driver, who are generating a minimum of $1,000,000 in revenue from the web annually. We work with Platinum clients to establish large scale lead generation and lead nurturing programs, fully integrated with CRM and other back-end systems. Fee ranges for this service start at $10K + GST per month.

Gold Clients are mostly SME’s with an established web presence who are aiming to drive a significant volume (e.g. $20,000/mth+) of business online. We work with Gold clients to optimise their online lead generation results on an ongoing basis, typically doubling or tripling online revenues within 12 months.

Web Development clients are typically looking to get online with an effective and profitable web presence. Project sizes start at $20K + GST.

Your solution costs $X. I know someone who can do it for half $X.

Digital marketing and marketing consulting is a highly diverse industry with varying levels of service and price.

The solutions we provide are highly sophisticated and highly customised. Most online sales processes are severely sub-optimal. We work hard to ensure that yours isn’t one of them. If you are a fit for our services, you’ll find us extremely cost-effective and we have the results to prove it.

If you can find a more effective solution at a better price, we encourage you to try it.

Will your marketing methods interfere with what I’m currently doing?

Our methods will only complement or improve on what you’re already doing. If something is working well for you, we’ll look to optimise it even further, not interfere.

If your online lead generation efforts are marginal or even costing you money we can help turn the situation around.

Do you tend to work with existing businesses or startups?

We have a strong bias toward working with existing businesses, as opposed to startups. Occasionally we do work with well-funded startups to help them get traction rapidly.

Do you have salespeople who can do my selling for me?

No, we don’t provide that service, although our marketing system does generate qualified sales leads who are usually much easier for your sales team to convert into customers. The end result of “more sales” is the same.

Do you prepare online marketing plans?

That depends on your definition of the term “marketing plan”. We don’t prepare formal documents that end up sitting on your bookshelf collecting dust. We work with you to formulate a specific online marketing strategy and plan aligned with your goals and put it into action immediately.

Do you design new websites?

Yes. We specialise in designing direct response lead generation websites that get profitable results for clients. Each project typically includes the five essential elements of making your website sell:

Effective conversion strategy

Attractive, response-oriented design

Compelling sales copy

Sophisticated marketing automation

Website traffic generation

The combination of these five elements is the reason why your new website will be extremely profitable.

We also work extensively with many clients who already have a website and want to make it more profitable.

How are you different from web design firms?

Most web designers or internet consultants design websites that may or may not produce the sales results you’re looking for. We are internet marketing experts who use online marketing to produce exceptional ROI.

How are you different from advertising agencies?

Advertising agencies tend to focus on producing creative materials and helping you place ads in various media. This process will certainly spend your money – the question is whether or not you’ll ever see a return on your investment. More often than not, the answer is, “no”.

One of our clients recently asked an advertising agency to prepare a marketing strategy to launch their new division. Cost: $35,000. Sales generated: 0.

The agency’s response? Well maybe you need to put more money into generating buzz and awareness…

That response doesn’t cut it for the firms we work with. You want to see trackable, accountable Return On Investment on every marketing dollar spent. Our focus is results, results, results.

I don’t have the budget to engage your consulting services. What options do I have?
